Aerobic respiration uses oxygen as part of a process that stores and releases energy. Recently, I found an article that compares the difference in anaerobic and aerobic activities. Aerobic exercises are less intense and does not require an immense amount of force such as yoga, walking and marathons. This is because aerobic uses fats, oxygen and carbs. On the other hand, anaerobic activities consists of very intense workouts because anaerobic respiration does not release energy for long periods of time. Aerobic releases more (36 )

Food gives us energy. Through the process of cellular respiration, the energy in the food we intake is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. Aerobic respiration, meaning oxygen is present during the reaction in the body. Adenosine triphospahte (ATP), gets converted into adenosine DI phosphate (ADP) when energy is used up... so eating will give us more energy because it will reconvert ADP to ATP... “recharging” our body.

This website tells us how energy is obtained in the cells VIA eating.

This week we learned about aerobic respiration processes including how energy/ATP is retrieved from glucose molecules. This article explains how energy is retrieved during extreme physical exertion. When the demand for energy outgrows the body’s capacity for energy production, the human body reverts to an anaerobic form of cellular respiration. In this case, the process of breaking down pyruvate is forgone as they are instead transformed into a chemical known as lactic acid. Although this process is much less efficient, it facilitates the supply of energy at a much faster rate to continue a sustainable production of energy during periods of intense physical activity. This article also explains the effects of lactic acid production on the body.

This past week we focused on cellular respiration and the different sections within it. Cellular respiration is the process that a cell undergoes to create ATP. In class, we've learned that ATP can be created in an Aerobic environment and an Anaerobic environment.

This article explains that Aerobic respiration is the process of converting glucose (or another organic substrate) into energy when in the process of oxygen. The oxygen that is present allows the theoretical chemical equation to be balanced, in which glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (6 O2) is converted into carbon dioxide (6 CO2), water (6 H2O), and energy in the form of ATP. In the article, it mentions that anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) produces less ATP than in aerobic respiration. Connecting this to what's been learned in class, with the presence of oxygen, it allows pyruvate oxidation, the Kreb's Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain to occur, creating more ATP than glycolysis alone, which doesn't require oxygen to occur.

This meme is talking about glycolysis. The whole process is converting adp into atp by adding a phosphate. It is the breakdown of glucose to get energy for bodily processes. Throughout the whole process, atp is added and removed which is why it relates to this meme.
